Abstract
A fiber optic connector employs a fiber optic element including a light-receiving end having a transverse cross-sectional shape which complements the transverse cross-sectional shape of a light-receiving end of at least one other fiber optic element. The complementarily shaped light-receiving ends permit a plurality of fiber optic connectors to be arranged alongside one another so that they may be directly and simultaneously illuminated by a single spot of light emitted from a source of light.
